More About This Book

Overview

Walcott's eight collection of poems is divided into two parts — "There," verse evoking the poet's native Carribbean, and "Elsewhere."

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Despite its title, this is another evocation of Walcott's St. Lucia, a Caribbean paradise of whelk-gatherers, sea grapes, and sugar cane where the poet reads ``silvery nouns'' and deciphers ``scriptures of sand.'' Walcott is again the consummate phrasemaker, describing a night ``with white rum on its breath'' and a moon ``with a birthmark like Gorbachev's head.'' He includes a sequence of poignant love poems and concludes with the title poem, a painful examination of the visiting black poet's role in an Arkansas where he ``was still nothing.'' In language that is unfailingly fresh and inventive, Walcott reminds us in every poem that a largely unexperienced world exists just ``outside the door.'' Daniel L. Guillory, Millikin Univ., Decatur, Ill.
